Construction & site work — Bolton
V-TUF supplies M-Class and H-Class dust extraction to construction sites across Bolton and the wider district. The Crompton Place regeneration, Bolton town centre masterplan, University of Bolton campus expansion and the sustained residential programme across Horwich, Westhoughton, Farnworth and the wider Bolton district all generate sustained CDM-compliant dust extraction demand. Bolton NHS Foundation Trust operates the Royal Bolton Hospital at Minerva Road, Farnworth — with active capital works programmes requiring ICRA-compliant H-Class extraction in clinical areas.

Frequently asked questions
What extraction is required for works inside the Royal Bolton Hospital?
All construction and maintenance inside the Royal Bolton requires an ICRA before starting. For Type C and D work in clinical areas H-Class extraction is mandatory. The MIDI H-Class with sealed filtration and HEPA-certified disposal bags is the correct specification.
Do principal contractors on Bolton town centre projects mandate 110V?
Yes — most principal contractors on Bolton's major regeneration programmes mandate 110V CTE. All V-TUF M-Class and H-Class extractors are available in 110V site-safe specification.
